In a recent promo of Seedhi Baat, the host asked Akshay about his films not working since his mother’s death. “Aaj aapke paas naam hai, shohrat hai, bangla hai, par maa nahi hai (You have everything today, but you don’t have your mother),” the host asked, rewording the popular dialogue from the film Deewar. Akshay got emotional and just said, “Chal, aage chal (move on).” The host prodded him further and asked what Akshay’s mother would have said amid his bad patch. Akshay said, “Unki ek badi famous line hai, ‘Fikr nahi kar puttar, babaji tere naal hai’ (She had a famous line, ‘Don’t worry son, God is with you’).”
